Could somebody 'in the know' elaborate a bit on this?<br>
How ''exactly'' should the 'AnswerMe' be handled on this site?<br>--[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 00:59, 21 July 2006 (CEST)


: If you have a question, put a link to AnswerMe on the page where you write the question. Nice people will check the page AnswerMe from time to time and click the ''What links here'' button, there they will see the page where you asked your question and added the link... --[[User:Raedor|raedor]] 01:07, 21 July 2006 (CEST)
:: I guess my question was a bit ambiguous - sorry about thst. But I was more concerned with the ''policy'' regarding this function. Wouldn't this be potentially very 'dangerous', by turning this Wiki into a forum? Should we perhaps post some very clear instructions as to ''when'' and ''where'' it is appropriate to ask questions? --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 18:06, 21 July 2006 (CEST)
:: We should post some clear instructions on how to use it.  Perhaps you could write something up? I'm going to be busy for the next few days. Or another Sysop can do it. :) [[User:Hoz|hoz]] 03:44, 22 July 2006 (CEST)
::: Well, it's not really up to me to make the rules, but here's a draft of how I would interpret the use of the AnswerMe function: [[Kronzky%27s_Sandbox|My Sandbox]]. --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 05:31, 22 July 2006 (CEST)<br>
::: ''Actually, after looking very closely at your message's indentation I suspect that you were probably not addressing me in the first place, but replying to raedor? :0 (In that case, just ignore my post...)''
::::I like what you wrote, I'll add a small blurb on guidelines page in the morning if you add your text to the article tx for the help :).  Ignore my indenting I'm just getting the hang of this. 05:36, 22 July 2006 (CEST)

: A wiki is a dynamic, constant 'work in progress'. Other people who read the page will most likely complete the information over time.
: In general though, it is preferred that you only post about things that you know. If you are writing about a subject, and there are issues you're not sure about, just leave it out.
With respect, I think this is the wrong approach.  You've overlooked the point that contributors may not know what needs to be written until it is explicitly pointed out to them.  An [[AnswerMe]] tag is one way of pointing out that information on a topic is incomplete and could be improved by someone who actually has the answer (not necessarily one of the BIS developers).  I understand that you wish to avoid a flood of 'when will ArmA be released?' questions but surely there is room to point out areas in the wiki that need further clarification. I'm thinking particularly of the ComRef which omits to document many special-cases. --[[User:sbsmac|sbsmac]]
